Li Hongbi looked at Hu Shang.
Hu Shang also looked at him, and then knelt down in front of him.
"Sir, I know I was wrong, sir!"
"Please show me your noble hand, sir. I don't dare to do it anymore, sir!"
Seeing this situation, Li Hongbi stopped smiling and his eyes became cold.
"Either you or I make a bet. If I win, you return the money to little Xu Qin. If you win, then let this matter go and let little Xu Qin consider himself unlucky."
"Either we don't bet, and then I chop off one of your hands as the price for your deception. How about that?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Shang was so frightened that he turned pale and even spoke cautiously.
The final result must be a gamble, otherwise he will break his arm!
The Hu Shang then spread a cloth on the ground with three bowls upside down on the cloth. Then the gambler put the money under one of the bowls. The Hu Shang quickly moved the three bowls and then stopped. , let people guess that the silver is hidden under the bowl.
If the guess is correct, the Hu merchant will pay double, but if the guess is wrong, the money in the bowl will belong to the Hu merchant.
To put it bluntly, this is a small bet, and it is the kind that Hu Shang will definitely win.
In future generations, with this little trick, he would be chased by the city management brigade as soon as he stepped out of the stall!
The crooked ways cannot be brought to the fore!
The two sides set up their stances, and the gambling game began immediately.
Li Hongbi took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Hu Shang.
Hu Shang anxiously held the silver cake with a bowl, and then quickly began to move the three bowls. It took a long time before he stopped and made a gesture of invitation.
There were many people watching around at this moment, and they all wanted to see how Li Hongbi could break the game, because many people had played before him, and they all lost without exception.
Mei Wanyan stood next to Li Hongbi, waiting to unveil the bowl.
Xu Qin was a little uneasy, pulled Qiu Song's sleeve, and whispered: "Brother Song, can Mr. Li do it?"
"My mentor will definitely win, he is so awesome!" Qiu Song said, patting his chest, full of confidence in his mentor.
"But... everyone who came before lost!"
"Ah?" Qiu Song was a little panicked when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the master's wife.
"Master Wife, my mentor..."
Mei Wanyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, you have to believe in your mentor!"
The three little ones and Xu Qin both nodded and looked at the three bowls in front of them attentively, wishing they could see through the tricks inside.
Hu Shang pretended to be calm and said in a low voice: "Master, please come!"
Li Hongbi pointed at the bowl on the right. Hu Shang was overjoyed when he saw it.
He thought that this noble young master was some kind of powerful person, but it turned out that he was also a big fool. It seemed that he had saved his hand and his money!
However, before he could be happy for a moment, Li Hongbi's next words made him panic instantly.
"There's definitely nothing in this bowl!"
After saying this, before Hu Shang could make any move, Li Hongbi opened the bowl himself. As expected, the bottom of the bowl was empty and there was nothing.
The people watching suddenly exclaimed and began to whisper.
Hu Shang's face was very ugly. He looked at Li Hongbi with an almost pleading look, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.
But Li Hongbi's eyes were cold and he pointed to the bowl on his left.
"This bowl is...empty too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongbi opened the bowl on the left. Everyone watched him open the bowl. Sure enough, the bottom of the bowl was also empty.
In this way, only the last bowl is left, and it is only possible that the silver is in the last middle bowl.
Hu Shang's face was completely earth-colored.
He understood that he was meeting an expert and had long seen through his little tricks.
"Sir, I have realized my mistake, I really have realized my mistake!"
If he had opened the middle bowl, Hu Shang would have shed his skin today even if he was not dead. He would probably be beaten to death on the spot by the angry people around him!
But Li Hongbi didn't tolerate him, and still stretched out his hand to hold down the last bowl.
“Of course, there’s nothing in the last bowl either!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongbi opened the bowl, and there was nothing underneath.
Seeing this situation, everyone froze on the spot, and then reacted instantly.
Zhu Yong suddenly yelled: "You profiteer, you are really cheating!"
Xu Qin finally came to his senses and realized that this Hu Shang was an out-and-out liar!
But... where did the money go?
Hu Shang stood up in a hurry and wanted to run away, but Li Hongbi grabbed his sleeve. As expected, the money fell from the sleeve to the ground.
"This is nothing more than a cover-up."
"You have kept the silver in your sleeves from the beginning. There is nothing in the three bowls, so no matter how others guess, they will never be able to guess it, right?"
"You are taking advantage of other people's greed to make a little money. There is nothing wrong with that, but you should not even deceive your children!"
It's okay for you to lie to the adults. That's because they are greedy. Even if they are cheated by you, they deserve it!
But you even lied to the child. This is very immoral. You are like a beast!
He even defrauded someone of ten taels of silver!
It's simply worse than an animal!
"This liar!"
"Pay back the money! Or I'll beat you to death!"
"Give me back the money you cheated me of!"
Immediately, a suffering master came to the door and denounced this damn Hu businessman.
Hu Shang subconsciously looked at Li Hongbi. His life was now in this guy's hands and he could only listen to his orders.
Li Hongbi looked at everyone and sighed: "Those who have been deceived, come and get it yourself, but it is best not to challenge my patience. If someone wants to fish in troubled waters, don't blame me for sending you to the government!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him were all shocked and subconsciously became quiet.
Not everyone can use the title Prince, but the man in front of me is a real noble prince!
And those victims also came forward honestly, took only their share, and then thanked Li Hongbi profusely.
Xu Qin also stepped forward and looked at Li Hongbi with a red face.
Li Hongbi handed him ten taels of silver, but still warned him earnestly: "Don't be so stupid in the future. Even if the pie in the sky happens, it won't be your turn!"
Xu Qin nodded with a flushed face, and then murmured: "My sister is sick, and the family's expenses are tight, so I thought..."
Hearing this, Li Hongbi was dumbfounded.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion is very expensive?
What is this situation?
Is Xu Huizu in such a difficult situation?
He is Queen Xu's eldest brother!
No matter how cold-blooded the Dog Emperor is, Queen Xu will not criticize her mother-in-law, right?
"How could this be?"
"My father won't let us use the rewards from the court, but my family's title has been reduced, and there are still so many mouths in the house, so we..." Xu Qin pitifully told the truth.
Li Hongbi's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and then he touched the child's head.
As expected of Xu Huizu, his bones are so strong that he dares not even use the rewards from the palace!
"You come to me tomorrow and I will take you to the palace to meet the saint. Now let's deal with this Hu Shang first."
Xu Qin was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Li Hongbi with red eyes and was about to shed tears, but Xuanqiu Song caught him.
Li Hongbi looked at Hu Shang, who was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
Entering the palace to meet the saint!
What kind of big shot in the Ming Dynasty is this?
How could I be blind and offend them?
It's over, it's all over now!
"Someone, send this guy to Yingtianfu Yamen for punishment!"
Li Hongbi said calmly.
A liar should be punished, let alone a guy who deceives even a child.
Li Hongbi didn't have the slightest sympathy for this kind of person. He could do whatever he wanted, whether it was tattooing or directly killing him with a stick.
Just because he is a Hu businessman and a foreigner, we cannot be lenient to him. The country and the dynasty cannot have such rules!
When Hu Shang heard this, he immediately knelt in front of him and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Sir, spare your life!"
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"The little one has a treasure that I can offer to you, sir. Please be kind to me..."
